LOCAL LADS ASSIST IN GRIM
RESCUE WORK
—
Somewhere in England, July 10th.,—
Grim scenes were enacted today in
this Southeast English town as Cana-
dian soldiers joined civil defence
workers and members of the British
pioneer corps in rescue work amid the
wreckage of a theatre bombed by a
single German bomber yesterday.
Late today a large number of bodies
has been recovered and the Canadians
said “more” still were in the wreck-

age.

Among the dead there were known
to be at least three Canadian soldiers
but identity was not yet established.
One of them was an officer.

His body was found amid the wreck-
age with a young woman who went to
a movie show with him. Her body
was recovered nearby and he had ap-
parently sought to shelter the woman
from blast.

Work without rest —

Twenty-five members of the Royal
Canadian Army Mediéal Corps took a
leading part in the rescue work and
attempts to identify the bodies in the
morgue, They worked for 28 hours
steadily, snatching hot tea and sand-
wiches provided by the people of the
town when they could.

The group included Capts. George
Norton, Alex, Alta.; Jerry Bowes,
Montreal; Bill White, Vancouver; and
Ptes. Russell Carruthers, Vulcan, Alta
Auguste Legare, Saskatoon; Ralph El-
bridge, Toronto; George Tate, Calgary

Ben May, Cardston, Alta; RALPH
STINN, Rockyford, Alta; Eric God-
dard, Okotoks, Alta.; Allan Waters,
Coutts, Alta.; Cpls. HAROLD FREE-
MAN, Strathmore, Alberta., and Or-

ville Kennedy, Regina.

These men have seen plenty of hard
going as far as casualties are concern-
ed in England, for they were whipped
down to the south coast last August,
where the wounded from the Dieppe
raid were landed.

Hamburg blasted.

Hitler advising all civilians to leave
Berlin.

Naples shattered as Allies hammer
Italy.

Canadian troops in thousands, mak-
ing one of the largest contingents
from Canada since the war started,
have landed in Britian and scattered
to camps.

The army groups included field hos-
pital units, two general hospitals, a
dental corps, reconnaissance, ordin-
ance and service corps, two self-pro-
pelled artillery units, a group of para-
troopers, and also the Dominion’s first
railway operational unit, formed only
three months ago, from experienced
railway men.

Allied drive in Sicily gaining on all
sides. Ross Munro says the Anglo-
Canadian 8th. Army and the American
7th. Army are edging their strong for-
mations into strategic positions, to
claw through the German Mt. Etna
defense line. When this line collap-
ses, the Sicilian campaign is likely to
be over except for mopping up. Since
the landing the Allies have flooded
tanks, guns and supplies into Sicily
and now have considerable ground
superiority as well “owning the air” as
General Montgomery says.

USE OF TRUCKS IS RESTRICTED

Qe
The use of farm or

trips, picnics or

commercial
trucks for family
other personal transportation use is
prohibited for the duration, the War-
time Prices and Trade Board has an-
nounced.

Suth trucks, under the new order,
must be used only for essential trans-
portation of goods and services.
“TrucKs must be preserved as they
are valuable to the war effort,” stated
the truck contro) officer. No trucks
are being manufactured for civilian
use and difficulty in obtaining repairs
is putting more and more trucks out
of operation.

Truckmen’s Duty—

It is the duty of every truck owner
in Alberta to take exceptional care of
their equipment, the statement contin-
ued.

“If trucks are allowed to wear out,
wagon and team will have to be relied
upon for transportation,” he declared.

ploying two or fewer full-time teach-
ers,

(2) The second scholarship be
awarded to studenis of schouis em-

ploying more than tw full-time ieach-
ers.

c— That in the event of sufficient
funds B@ing available for third and
fourth scholarships the 3rd. be award-
ed to the second high student in the
Ist. class and the 4th. to the second
high in the second class.

d— That the awards be made on the
results of written examinations set by

to the Federation for one year and
then to be reviewed and revised it
necessary.

A member of the committee much
interested in the Scholarship plans,
generously offered a 3rd. scholarship
of $50 in the event that at least two
$50 units be raised by the Federation.

The meeting adjourned at 4 p.m.

—Canadians in Sicily—

ote gece

The Eighth Army and the Canadians
in the fighting around Catania, are
battling terrible heat as well as the
Nazi units in Sicily. Eight Army vet-
erans told John Gunther, the author,
who is now a war correspondent, they
never found anything in Africa, even
the fiercest stretches of desert, quite
so punishingly hot as this. The Siti-
lian sun beats down with murderous
sharpness and severity. Dust is some-
thing else that aggravates the situa-
tion. Of it, Gunther says— ------ --

If anyone should ask what the front
is like closer to hand the answer is
easy. It is mostly dust—billowing
clouds of heavy whitish dust, pouring
up from the wheels of vehicles. An
through the dust — bulldozers, tanks,
unending torrent of traffic grinds
lorries, every kind of gun carrier and
jeeps. The goggled drivers are half
choked as they pass red-capped mili-
tary policemen with handkerchiefs

stuffed in their mouths.

KILLED IN ACTION

F\O LISTON ANDERSON KILLED

——_—oO——.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. G. Anderson ot

Drumheller received word Sunday that
their youngest son, F O Liston Ander-
son of the Royal Canadian Air Force,
had been killed on active service.

Liston Anderson, a brother of John-
ny Anderson, was prominent in athlet-
ic circles for Many years before en-
listing. He excelled in hockey, base-
ball, softball and soccer. He was a
star with Drumheller Miners when its
roster included Tommy Anderson who
later starred with Brooklyn Americans
in the N. H. L.

F O Anderson joined the R. C. A. F.
in May, 1941, and graduated at Rivers,
Manitoba, as an air navigator. He
was assigned to anti-submarine patrol
on the Atlantic seaboard prior to join-
Ing the Ferry Command last year.

Thirty-two years of age, F O Ander-
son only arrived overseas a few weeks
ago. He was married last May and
his widow is at present in Abbotsford,
B. C, —Drumheller Mail.

F O Anderson was married in Strath
more in May of last year to Mollie
Malton, niece of Mr. and Mrs.| H. A.
Willson. Mrs. Anderson, with her
mother, visited with Mr. and Mrs.
Willson for several weeks in June
during which time they made many
friends, who wilt regret to learn this
sad news.

Just previous to leaving Moose Jaw
Mr. and Mrs. Malton received word
that their son “Sammy” Lt. Malton
was reported missing following a
flight over Germany. This later news
now makes the word doubly sad.

of Ontario. Hon. Premier Harry Nix-
on regretted that no one party had a
clear Majority, but declined further
comment,

This change in Party Leaders will
give an opportunity to clear the air of
much of the criticism that has been
made of the party in power.

Credit Union
Meeting

A small, but keenly interested roup
met in the Town Hall Wednesday eve-
ning to discusss the benefits and ad-
visability of forming a Union in Strath-
more.

J. A. Tench was elected Chai:man
and S. Coldwell secretary pro tem.

A letter trom Mr. F. J. Fitzpatrick,
supervisor of Credit Unions in Alberta
was read, which set forth the means of
procedure in forming a Union. Chair-
man Tench advocated the benefits and
gave the following details.

A share consists of $5 and can be
paid at the rate of 50c per month.

An advisory Board of ten must form
the nucleus of an organization, before
a Charter can be obtained.

The Credit Unions in the U. S. loan-
ed last year 240 million dollars and the
Unions are increasing there .at the
rate of 1 per day.

If a borrower wishes to obtain $50
or more he must have a co-signature.

The laws and by-laws of the Credit
Unions are as near fool proof,as can
be well known.

The benefit is to the small investor,
who can save 50c or $1.00 but not $100,

In Canada and the U. S. there are 4
million members.

A further meeting will be held Aug-
ust 18th. (probable date) when it is
hoped to have a _ larger number of
those interested, also further details,
and possibly Mr. iitzpatrick, Prov.
Supervisor, present to give an address.

wheat is a costly raw material for in-
dustrial use; the quantity of it which
could be used would contribute in on-

that wheat yeilds alcohol at 2 gals. to
the bushel. At 90 cents (Ft. Wm.) a
bushel, alcohol would cost 62c a_ gal-
lon. In normal times, however,
molasses makes alky at 25c a gal.

ed to honour them ahead of date.

While it is definitely good news that
a new farm machinery order increaseJ
quotas, it should be remembered that
you won't get much benefit from it un-
til the crop year of 1944 for obvious
reasons, beacuse many of the items
can't be completed until late fall. With
allotment to zones needed, ma
chines will be increased to tonnage
equal to 77% of the 1940-41 output,
that of repairs 156%. The total will
be 90% of the average weight of m.-
chines produced in the basie yj ericd.

Any of you folks who visit Ottawa

iful walk facing the buildings. Sil-

mons with the odd windows lighted up
gleaming like ship at sea; the ir-
regular shape and spires of the East
and West blocks, makes an unforget-
table picture against the darkening
picture against the darkening sky.
Just sit there for a while. You'll be
glad you did.

With increased raising of livestock
and poultry in Eastern Canada as ag
ainst an indicated short crop, the de-
partment of agriculture here has set
up a subsidy on a sliding scale for
eastern farmers to buy western feed
grain for storage against next winter's
feeding needs. It starts with a 3 cent
subsidy per bushel for grains bought
in July, 24% cents in August, receding
l% cent each month to a subsidy of %
cent per bushel in December.

When it is realized that our Canadi-
an producers have got the job this
year of supplying 85% of Great Brit
ain’s bacon reguirements to maintain
their 4 oz weekly ration, it emphasizes
the tremendous war job being done on

the farms from ocean to ocean. To
| hit this high mark in 1948 means that

Autumn-Sown Grasses
and Legumes

There are, no doubt, large areas
in the prairie provinces which will
be devoted to straight grain farming
for many years to come. In most
districts, however, a reasonable
acreage of grass, or grass and
alfalfa mixed, is good for the farmer
and good for the farm,

A great many farmers have been
discouraged because attempts to
“oet a catch” of grass have failed.
Failure is commonly due to (a)
sowing too deeply, (b) no protec-
tion from soil drifting and (c) sow-
ing at the wrong time, In some
years and some districts, the use
of nurse crops has also caused
disappointment.

Since the autumn is, alas, not
very far away, and since autumn-
sowing of grasses is becoming more
and more popular, we think it wise
to draw attention to some experi-
mental work done at Saskatoon and
published in “Scientifie Agriculture”
(Vol. 23, No. 7). The following
statements are derived from this
publication and the authors are
Dr. W. J. White and Mr, W. H.
Horner.

1. Sweet clover should not be
sown in autumn,

2, Crested wheat grass, brome
grass, slender wheat grass and
alfalfa may be sown in autumn if:—

(a) Sowing is early enough to
establish good-sized seed-
lings (late August to early
September), or

(b) Just before freeze-up, so
that seeds don’t germinate
until spring.

3. Better results are obtained by
sowing in stubble or weeds than on
bare summerfallow.

Since conditions vary from place
to place, it is wise to consult the
nearest experimental farm or the
local agricultural representative.

Copy of Hoiy Scriptures
Given to all Jews Enlisted

—O——

His Majesty the King has graciously
consented to grant a message for the
special edition of the Holy Scriptures
which is being distributed to each of
the 10,000 Jewish men and women in
the Canadian war services. This 512)
page book is being sent to every Jew-
ish soldier, sailor and airman by the
Religious Welfare Committee of the
Canadian Jewish Congress with the co
operation of the Jewish chaplains.

spent

The message from.His Majesty
reads—
“To all serving in my forces by sea,

or land, or in the air, and indeed, to
all my people in the defence of the
Realm, I commend the reading of this
book. For cerfturies the Holy Scrip
tures has been a wholesome and stren-
gthening influence in our national life,
and it behoves us in these moment-
ous days to turn with renewed faith
to this Divine source of comfort and
inspiration.”

A message from Rabbi Dr. Herman
Abramowitz, chairman of the Religi-
ous Welfare Committee of the Canadi-
an Jewish Congress, appearing on the
last page of the Book, states; “The
Holy Scriptures are your. special
heritage as Jews. They are also the
Jews’ principal contribution to our
present-day civilization. The Iree-
doms for which we are fighting in this
war have their origin in the Bible.
The teaching on the very first page of
the Bible, that every human oeing is
created in the image of Go, and
therefore has a spark of the divine in
him, has given sanctity to human per-
sonality, and has endowed every man
with the right to freedom, equality
and the pursuit of happiness.

MODERN CONVENIENCES ON
CANADIAN FARMS
—— 9-——

A report recently issued by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics as part
of the 1941 census shows the percen-
tage of farm homes in each province
having electricity, radio, telephone
and automobile as follows —

The above figures should be great-
ly increased. Every farm home should
have electric lighting, water and bath
facilities, and radio.

This is a condition to attain.

When rural houses are made as at-
tractive as city houses the exodus of
young people from the farm will be
greatly lessened. This is a project for
Women’s organizations.

The reduction in soil

Southern Alberta during recent years

STRIP FARMING

is due to an increase in strip farming |

and improved summer-fallowing prac
tices as well more
weather conditions. Strip farming is
now well established in ten of the
thirteen districts where sub-stations
are located. Trash cover fallows
have almost completely replaced the
ploughed fallows in all districts and
farmers have learned to make good
trash covers. Soil drifting in South
ern Alberta has been detinitely redtic-
|ed by an increase in strip farming and
, by improved methods of making tr ish |
covers on summer-fallow land.

There are two interesting diversions
from the regular type of strip farming.
On the station at Claresholm, all fal-
low strips are seeded to a cover crop
of oats. In the Claresholm district
with its greater
proximity to the foothills, cover crops
have proved very successful both from
the point of view of controlling soil
drifting and furnishing valuable fall
and winter pasture for finishing beef
cattle. At the Pincher Creek station
a modified system of contour farming
has proved satisfactory. In the Pinch
er Creek country the annual raintail
ave) about twenty inches and
farms are located on_ sloping
Under these conditions contow

‘ages

land.

farming should prove satisfactory both ,

from the point of view of soil drifting
control and soil erosion by water.

It is really admitted that any kind
of strip farming has its disadvantages |
but when land is blown away it is lost
forever. Strip farming and trash
covers, have gone a long way to reduce
soil drifting
that is wiy this system of farming
has increased in spite of its disadvan
tages.

Coal Shortage National
Emergency

OQ
The coal shortage facing Canada to-

day has assumed such alarming pro:
portions that the Prime Minister has
-laMg [PMOIWBN B UOTJUNIS 94} PIMleyo
gency.

Abnormal demands for coal caused
by shortages of fuel oil, wood natural
gas and other fuels have brought about
a widening gap between consumption
and production which can be met, in
the main, only by the most rigid con-
servation Measures.

As Canadians we have been profli-|

gate in the use of coal — profligate to
the extent that in the average home
nearly 50% of the coal we burn is
wasted. Lack of insulation, storm
windows, weather stripping; ineffici-
ent heating eystems and faulty meth-
ods are chief contributing factors to
this enormous waste.

On the shoulders of the retailers of
Canada who can provide the know-
ledge, materials and services to help
meet this situation rests a great res-
ponsibly in this emergency. The Gov-
ernment will do its part in giving
broad publicity to the Coal Conserva-
tion program through means in its
power, but in the final analysis the
public will look, as always, to its local
dealers for the advice, services and
materials in effecting fuel saving.
